"Neutron Dance" is in the same wheelhouse as a lot of Lindstrom/Todd Terje jams that I've enjoyed, but it feels a bit lifeless.

Generally, I like it, too -- just not enough to vote for it.

Sniping was more artful/comical before lex bailed on us. He raised the level of sniping for everyone.

Tactically voted for this. I like it but prefer Moonshake Miner on the other side.

15: Julia Holter – “I Shall Love 2” – 296 points – 8 votes – 1 first place votevideo
Julia Holter
”I Shall Love 2” seems like a continental divide on this album; from then on the waters flow another direction. – alex in mainhattan
I've had the beginning of “I Shall Love 2” in my head all morning where her vocals are indeed very mimsy, and it's made me realize how enamored I am becoming both with this album and with those sorts of affected, contorted vocals more generally. All her albums have drawn power and dynamism from a sense of scale, that comfort and delight in personhood, the intimacy of being your small self in a vast swirling world. - ogmor
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=26319
The magical realist dreamscapes of Julia Holter’s songs are always compellingly strange. “I Shall Love 2” feels like waking up on a tropical shore, surrounded by fallen fruit and parakeets, but with the color of the sky just odd enough to make you wonder if you might, in fact, still be dreaming. It’s a fitting space for a love song, delivered without irony or trepidation; maybe this is what it’s meant to feel like? Julia, dazed and blinded by the sun, wonders “what do the angels say” and is answered by a celestial chorus; the song builds to a Deserter’s Songs-ish climax of swirling, entwining vocal parts, strings and brass, strands of the entire galaxy uniting in imperfect synchrony to celebrate her newfound love. I mean, sorry Julia, there’s no way this isn’t a dream. – Vikram Joseph
Julia Holter’s left looking pale upon facing the song’s central epiphany, and what really pushes “I Shall Love 2” is her follow-up question: “what do I do?” It peels back how truly daunting it can be to get hit by the feeling when you least expect it, and how you’re never prepared to respond to love’s arrival. The creaking music, too, sighs and crashes on its knees as powerless as Holter. The final swirling of voices that declare her breakthrough to choose love despite its known terror, then, echoes with bravery. – Ryo Miyauchi
everybody out
Not the best song on the album but I like it. Sounds a bit like a VU&N outtake.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link
Love this but voted for the LP instead
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link
Oh, cool. I didn't think she'd make the tracks poll. This song is wonderful.
― jmm, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:36 (five years ago) link
Julia Holter, she's great. She's been through a lot apparently w/r/t that asshole formerly from Real Estate, and i have warmer feelings towards her for personal reasons too. a friend of ours took his own life a couple years back and she was a friend of his as well, and sang a lovely song at his memorial service along w/a couple others.
― omar little, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:36 (five years ago) link
Excellent - voted for the album instead but pleased to see this track place
― Jeff W, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:36 (five years ago) link
Is this rollout always this unpleasant? The sniping is quite tiring.
― L'assie (Euler)
I don't think we've even had a proper argument break out this run. I try not to be actively mean about things but a little snark is part of the fun.
― emil.y, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:38 (five years ago) link
baby snark do-do-do-do
Great song, definitely an album thing for me but if I was going to pick an individual track this'd probably be it.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:38 (five years ago) link
Re: the Beths, I can't get excited by them really but I do quite like the tracks that have placed, they remind me of now-defunct UK indiepopsters Standard Fare.
― emil.y, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:39 (five years ago) link
i'm frankly pleased this has been such a chatty rollout; we're poised to hit the same number of posts from the entire 2017 poll before the end of today.

14: Sheck Wes – “Mo Bamba” – 297 points – 9 votes video
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=26388
I saw Sheck Wes at the beginning of the summer when he played MoMA PS1’s Warmup series. He played “Mo Bamba” three times. It went off every single time. I’ve since heard “Mo Bamba” on what feels like every single dance floor that was tangentially hip-hop related, and honestly, it still goes off every time! I’m astounded that “Mo Bamba” is all build with no cathartic release, but I can’t argue with the energy this brings to a room. - Crystal Leww
“Mo Bamba” is a masterpiece of negative space. Sheck Wes gives the track the room to unfurl, to expand and contract without adhering to a strict beat or structure. The second “bamba” is what really kills me. It sounds like Sheck Wes spitting a sour taste from his mouth, then followed by a bratty string of “fuck, shit, bitch!” — an artful encapsulation of the blunt boredom of young angst, feeling like you know everything but where your next thought is going to bring you. - Ashley John

Probably not.

NB for those of you who don't know better and that work in open offices that "Mo Bamba" is very much a NSFW single and (imo) best imparts whatever enjoyment you're likely to get from it at earsplitting volume

"mo bamba" my no. 3

Oh, "Future Me Hates Me" and "I Shall Love 2" are the third and fourth tracks from my ballot to place. Good to see. (I had voted for "Geyser" after all.)

Didn't hear the Holter album this year (as I have probably said many times, her doomy electronic songs were the ones that hit me and she moved away from those), but oooh the ending of that track is fucking gorgeous.
― emil.y, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:49 (five years ago) link
how much is a #1 vote worth? 40 points? add that to the 'future me hates me' me total and that's where it would have landed had i not been a lazy ass
